::feets rest::

We found a new guitar teacher out here for Max. He seems awesome. He's a classical guitarist and has taught lots of kids. He also has three big hairy malamutish dogs, dresses just like my dad and lives 5 minutes away. (YAY! I do enough driving right now.)
Max had his first lesson last week, and the teacher requested that Kris and Max construct a footrest/boost for Max to use while playing. So this weekend they headed out to the hardware store, bought a 2x4 and went for it.
I guess Kris let Max do it all--basically anyway. He was way excited.

It's always a good thing for dads and sons to have projects together.

And it was nice because I got to relax and rest while they were doing it--though I have to admit the power saw sounds from the garage did make me a little tense.

But everybody survived.
Now the trick is just getting Max to actually keep his feet ON the footrest.


He'll get the hang of it.

I expect him to be playing Stairway to Heaven for me anytime now. For now I'm enjoying Buffalo Gals and He's Got the Whole World in His Hands. Good stuff.
